1. History

Picking up where Willzy left off, the game has been under so much change, from the day it was released a couple
years ago, all the way to today where Dragon Nest still entertains millions of gamers worldwide. Eyedentity Games began the
"Dragon Nest Project" at early 2007 from an Inspiration of several anime series--The art style of the game messes with many people's minds,
or in other words... they hate it. I for one, love everything about this game. Average gamer ratings on sites are from 8.1-10.0 which is amazing in my opinion. Many people's first impressions about the game are "Ew, chinese graphics" but after thinking for a couple of minutes they start
to admire the game. I for one fell in love with the game at first sight.



2. WTF IS DRAGON NEST111!!111!11!!1?ONEONE??

Dragon Nest is a F2P(Free to Play) MMORPG with "Asian Graphics" as some people like to call it. Dragon Nest has many hosts, one for example (many people may already quit for this one, but here I go..)Nexon America, Nexon Korea, SDO (Chinese), The Taiwanese and Japanese hosts (I'm sadly unaware of their names) The movement controls are like any other MMO, but Dragon Nest is only so different from many other
MMO's because of its combat system. Most games target mobs and you just stand there pressing buttons to activate skill without moving at all. But Dragon Nest is an action MMO whereas instead of targeting mobs you have an actual X on the UI as a targeter and you attack, so you don't click a monster and press 1234, but instead you have to go to the monster and attack it with you skill (It's rather confusing to explain but bare with me. Look at the media section for a much, much, much easier way of understand the combat system.) and to use regular attacks you
click. Skills are the same though, 1234 to use skills but you have to have your X (Targeter) somewhat on the mob to be able to hit them, or
your attack will probably just miss.
My Rating:

Graphics - 9.6
Gameplay - 8.2
PvP(8v8, 4v4, 3v3, 2v2, or 1v1) 8.7
Playerbase - Korea...High //China...VeryHigh// Japan...High//Taiwan...Medium//NA....N/A//SEA....N/A

The level cap is 50 in Korea, China. It's 40 in Japan and Taiwan. NA is in

DN has in total 28 classes. Yes, you heard right--28 classes. But it has a class tree:

Swordsman(lv15-45) that divides into Moonlord(45-50) OR Gladiator(45-50)
Mercenary (lv15-45) that divides into Marauder(45-50) OR Destroyer (45-50)

Bow Master(lv15-45) that divides into Sniper(45-50) OR Artillery(45-50)

Cleric(lv1-14) that divides into Paladin(15-45) OR Priest(15-45)
Paladin(lv15-45) that divides into Crusader(45-50) OR Guardian(45-50)

NOTE: There ARE other names for classes such as Sharpshooter or Elemental Lord, so don't be alarmed if you find someone calling them that.
Important info: Dragon Nest classes are gender locked, meaning you can only be that selected gender when choosing your class.
Warriors are males, Archers are females, Priests are males, and Sorceresses are females.

Something for us north americans to love about NorthAmericaDN but those ip blocked to hate: Dragon nest, sadly has fatigue. But Nexon NA
turned their fatigue system into an EXP bonus system. This is how it works:
The longer you play, the smaller the exp bonus bar gets. The smaller the exp bonus bar gets, the less bonus exp you get. BUT when the bar
fully runs out you can still play. Actually, let me try to make it simpler:
XP Bar = 100%, you now get 3x EXP
XP Bar = 50%, you now get 1.5x EXP
XP Bar = 0%, you now get 1x EXP. You can't get any lower than 1x EXP. Instead of having fatigue, we actually don't have any limited
gametime unlike the others. We also can get x3 exp while the max they get is 1x exp. Nexon is going to add items in the cash shop to refill
your exp bar in NorthAmericaDN. Anyway, we're getting a 100x better situation while others are limited to play while we're limited to 3x exp but we can still play 1x when it runs out.The XP bar gets a little refill every day and a bigger refill every week.



3. Who am I IP blocked from?

Hosts:
ChineseDN(No IP block) -- Currently in official release (lv cap 50)
JapaneseDN(No IP block) -- Currently in official release (lv cap 50)
TaiwaneseDN(No IP block) -- Currently in official release (lv cap 50)
KoreanDN(No IP block) -- Currently in official release (lv cap 50)
NorthAmericaDN(IP Blocked for all countries except US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand[After a long time..]) -- CBT was June 15th to June 19th (lv cap 16) OBT starting July 26th and ending August 9th. (lvl cap going to be 24
cap 16) Oben beta starting
SeaDN(No IP block) -- CBT was July 13th to July 19th (lv cap 24) OBT date not announced but estimated to be late August.
EuDN is not yet created, so europeans have to stick with SeaDN or any of the other servers. Note that there ARE english patches to translate
the clients, the english is definetely not the best, but it's somewhat understandable. There's thousands of fluent english speakers in cDN though, and many english guilds. If you're stuck on a server to choose while waiting for the Sea OBT or the NA OBT I definetely recommend cDN for a bigger english-speaking population with guilds that help you throughout the game.



4. Publisher, Host(er(s))

Dragon Nest was published by Eyedentity games, in Korea. It was then bought by several companies that now host the game. Nexon bought it with the idea of making it pay to play, but after some thinking they just jipped the cash shop with items. Yeah, that's nexon we all know and
hate. At least, they made it f2p. (I bet it was just because if they did p2p everyone would just go to SeaDN/cDN but that's just my 2 cents.)

I'll add more links and some media later this guide took me roughly 4 hours to make so I'm a bit tired x.x there's many youtube videos of
dragon nest so feel more than free to look some up.
